Satirist skewers Mark Robinson with tater tot-themed spoof

Gov. Tim Walz' alarming comments about the essence of casserole, made under the anonymous username DarthTater, threaten to upend the upcoming presidential election, according to a completely made-up spoof poking fun at Mark Robinson. Washington Post satirist Alexandra Petri on Friday took a none-too-subtle jab at the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate caught in a scandal over porn site commentary that an explosive CNN report linked to the MAGA Republican. While CNN reported Robinson declared himself to be a "black NAZI" who would "bring slavery back," Walz's satirical account engages in parallel hot dish-themed commentary. "DarthTater also expressed some viewpoints that matched with Walz’s public persona," Petri wrote. "In one instance, the user wrote, 'National Coming Out Day is around the corner and I need to be on my A-game with snacks (I’m a GSA club sponsor). Any suggestions, hot dish friends?' adding, 'Goes without saying, but, just in case, I disapprove of slavery.'"ALSO READ: Notorious conspiracy theorist rolled out by RNC to train election overseers in MichiganWalz's anonymous account also show a penchant for praising photos of hot dish and expressing appreciation for his fellow HotOrNotDish.net users and their families.
